Remove the Heart

Your guide to the 'Remove the Heart' mission in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Learn how to disable the kett base shield, infiltrate the operations station, and more with expert tips.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Remove the Heart' mission in Mass Effect: Andromeda. This one's all about disrupting the kett's operations on Voeld. You'll be working with Niilj and his Resistance team, who were trying to take down the kett's main operations station that controls everything on the planet and powers the shield blocking an ancient angaran city. Niilj's sister, Buxil, is helping you out with the password decryption. ### Acquisition This mission kicks off automatically after you give Buxil the data drive from the previous mission, 'Meet the Family'. Before you head to the Kett Base, make sure you've got these other missions lined up: 'Know Your Enemy', 'Medical Caches', 'Task: Hitting Rocks for Science', and 'Fact Or Fiction'. ### Walkthrough #### Optional: Observe kett shield When you're heading towards the northeast part of the Voeld map, you'll spot a big orange kett shield. Your squad will comment on it. Commander Anjik Do Xeel will report that it's shielding the Ja Niihk Dig Site, an angaran city currently occupied by the kett. The controls for this shield are at the base, so there's nothing you can do about it just yet. #### Investigate the kett base Now, make your way to the Kett Base. You'll see it as this huge, imposing mountain. The navpoints will guide you around the mountain, counterclockwise, until you reach a Forward Station and then the entrance to the base itself. You might run into some kett structures and hostiles on your approach. It's up to you if you want to clear them out first, but it's not strictly necessary to proceed.
